Multi-board

You can run more than one job board on one site, for example “Tech Jobs” and “Marketing Jobs”. Each board can have its own pricing, approval rule, listing length, currency and hiring stages, and all boards are managed from one admin.

What you can do

• Create boards. Add as many boards as you need.
• Let employers pick a board. When more than one board exists, the job form shows a Post to Board dropdown.
• Let visitors filter by board. The Job Filters can include a board filter, so visitors can narrow the Job Listings block to one board.
• Show one board on a page. The Job Listings block accepts a boardId attribute that limits it to a single board.
• Set rules per board. Each board has its own credit cost, moderation, listing length and currency, and its own pipeline stages.

Create a board

1. Go to Career Board → Settings → Boards.
2. Click Add Board, or Add Your First Board when the list is empty.
3. Enter a Title. Employers see it when they post a job. You can add a description in the content area.
4. Set the board’s rules in the Board Settings box, in the main column of the edit screen. See Board settings.
5. Click Publish.

A new board gets the default hiring stages when you publish it.

The Boards tab lists your boards, 20 per page, with a search box. Each row shows the board name, its jobs, its pipeline stages and its credit cost, with Edit and Delete actions.

Delete a board

Click Delete on the board’s row and confirm. Deleting a board:

• removes the board and its pipeline stages permanently;
• keeps its jobs. They are no longer assigned to that board.

The dialog reports how many stages were removed and how many jobs were unlinked.

Board settings

Open a board with Edit to set:

Setting	Default	What it does
Credit Cost Per Job	0	Credits held when a job is submitted to this board and spent when it goes live. 0 means free posting. Moving a job to another board re-prices it. See Credit system.
Moderation	Use global default	Choose Auto-publish or Requires approval for this board, or follow the site-wide Auto-publish jobs setting.
Listing length (days)	0	How long a job stays open when the employer sets no deadline. 0 follows Default listing length (days) under Settings > Jobs.
Currency	Site default	The currency for salaries on this board.

Jobs on a board with a credit cost above 0 are marked as Featured in job listings.

The map provider is set for the whole site under Career Board → Settings → Integrations. It is not set per board.

Pipeline stages per board

Each board has its own hiring stages. The Application Kanban uses the stages of the board a job was posted to. The Boards tab shows each board’s stage count and a Manage button. See Application pipeline.

Field Builder groups can be hidden on chosen boards. See Field Builder overview.

Default board

Career Board creates a default board called Main Board, so a job always has a board. The Boards tab has no action to choose a different default board.

Employers and boards

By default the Post to Board dropdown lists every published board. The BuddyPress group boards integration limits the list to boards of groups the employer belongs to. The wcb_board_options_for_employer filter changes the list.

Filter by board

The board filter in the Job Filters lists up to 20 published boards, sorted by name. The wcb_job_listings_board_options filter changes the list.
